COVID19 Q and A

FAQs about COVID-19

Before travelling to Lord Howe Island

Please consult with your chosen accommodation regarding Covid-19 policies.

Lord Howe is a small community with its limited guest numbers at capacity over summer and into 2024. The Gower Wilson Memorial Hospital is a small facility without an Intensive Care Unit – as a bottom line, if you feel unwell, please do not travel and instead postpone your holidays on Lord Howe for a future date.

What should I do if I’m on Lord Howe Island and feeling unwell?

If you feel unwell with flu-like symptoms while on island, please contact the Gower Wilson Memorial Hospital on +2 6563 2000 to arrange a COVID-19 test. 

Vaccination evidence

Most premises in NSW are now open to everyone, regardless of whether you are fully vaccinated or not.

However, some accommodation providers may require proof of vaccination. Please consult with your accommodation provider or travel agency prior to making a booking.
